    I read somewhere years ago that one man who eventually with others gave birth to the old Austrian party which was companion party to us carried on with his literature stall under the entire rule of the Nazi Party, and was simply ignored and never stopped.

    Maybe not that ironic when one considers what eventually happened to the Bund Demokratischer Sozialisten.  Unlike most other parties affiliated with the WSM, the Bund did not start off as an offshoot of the Socialist Party of Great Britain and although nominally favouring a classless, moneyless, egalitarian society, in later years the Bund's newspaper printed a number of nationalistic, anti-immigration articles. As the opinions expressed in these articles could not be reconciled with the WSM's Declaration of Principles, the Bund was dropped as a companion party around 2003 if I'm not wholly mistaken.

And that reading between the lines, the three dictatorships he lived under, his activities were underground and not openly conducted. I think it would be an injustice to say that the Nazis "over-looked " and "tolerated" his politics and diminishes his obvious personal couragehttp://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/socialist-standard/1960s/1964/no-723-november-1964/reminiscences-old-member-pt1http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/socialist-standard/1960s/1964/no-724-december-1964/reminiscences-old-member-pt2
